Brunell the starter = proven mediocre

Brunell the backup = perhaps fantastic?

Something tells me that MB's style of play at this point in his career would be very condusive, for the most, to being a quality backup. Usually a backup gets a trimmed down playbook and can take advantage of the lack of scouting on 'his' offense. Being that he thrives in the short game and can complete high percentages of passes and has a good feel for the game and mind too I think as a short term starter(ie: campbell has a minor injury keeping him out a game or two) he can be as effective as any QB we could have.

I am good as gold with MB as a backup. As a long term starter he'd struggle. As he has already.
